Aircraft-carrier style

Taking off online

On November 25th, China announced it had successfully landed a fighter on its new aircraft carrier for the first time. An official photo showed two technicians on the carrier crouching and pointing to give the green light to the fighter pilots. The photo sparked a national urge to grab a friend, strike a pose and post a photo online. The craze, in a twist on the popular Korean video "Gangnam Style", has been dubbed “Hangmu Style”, after the Chinese word for aircraft carrier.
